Azelastine
Azelastine (Astelin) is a nasal antihistamine used for allergy symptoms, including allergic and vasomotor rhinitis. This listing includes Astelin, an azelastine spray, and Dymista, which contains azelastine with fluticasone propionate.
Key points
- Histamine blockade reduces activity involved in nasal allergy symptoms.
- Azelastine nasal medicine covers sneezing, a runny or itchy nose, and congestion.
- Drowsiness can occur with azelastine nasal spray, and alcohol can intensify this effect.
